Module
4 Announced to Competitors
|
|
This
substantially changes the arena layout and
adds new kinds of territories worth more
game points. The towers also received an
upgrade meaning they no longer become
locked out, but if a robot attempts to
claim a territory they already own then it
will become unclaimed.

If
you're interested in helping out with the
final module and knockouts, come along to
a competition meeting or get in touch.

Friendlies
|
We
ran some friendly matches on Saturday
13th, they went well.
|
We're
planning on running some more friendly
matches for teams on the 3rd and 17th of
April. These are a great chance to see how
teams are fairing in the competition.
They're very relaxed, and we mostly
comment on how teams are performing in the
matches. If you're interested in coming
along or helping them happen, come along
to a competition meeting, or join the
calls when they're posted.
